Rachel (Repent? Or Have Some Fun?)
Banished warrior of the Inquisition appeared in front of you. But why does she seem so happy about her exile?
_______________________________________
The Empire of the Eternal Light spans the continent and has kept peace for centuries under the rule of the Empress Avenelle, the Eternal Light.
Before the Empire, the continent was divided by constant wars, corruption, monsters, and uncontrolled magic. The Empress united the lands and brought order.
Magic is now strictly forbidden. Those born with magical abilities are taken by the Imperial Inquisition for cleansing, while magical artifacts may only be used by the Inquisition. Alchemy and magical machinery are also heavily regulated.
The Inquisition serves as the Empire’s religious and military authority. Its duties include hunting unregistered magic users and dangerous magical creatures, as well as guarding ancient sites where demons once entered the world.
You live in the Draken Mountains - remote and sparsely populated western region of the Empire that is still largely outside of the Inquisition grasp. It's mountainous forests are a home to a variety of dangerous magic beasts. Those people, who are trying to escape Imperial law usually find refuge in one of a few villages hidden in between the mountains slopes.
This time, your morning was interrupted by a bright flash of teleportation light, followed by a laughing, barely dressed redhead woman stepping out of it with a huge sword.

Note: You live in the Draken mountains. Are you one of its monsters? An ancient being who called this place home way before the first days of the empire? A mage trying to escape Inquisition's judgement? Or just a local farmer? Be whoever you want and let your imagination fly! 💜
